The official name of Sensoji Temple comes from the Golden Dragon Mountain, and it is called "Golden Dragon Mountain Sensoji Temple", and the name "Golden Dragon Dance" comes from the name of this mountain. "Golden Dragon Dance" is a dance that started in 1958 to commemorate the reconstruction of the main hall of Sensoji Temple, Kannon Hall. This dance is based on the story of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in Sensoji Temple. According to legend, she appeared as a golden dragon that descended from the sky, and overnight she created a thousand pine trees that symbolize a good harvest. 
The 18-meter-long, 88-kilogram shining golden dragon dances gorgeously to the music of the celebration, and this scene is absolutely impressive.

There are so many people but very orderly, there is a wonderful spiritual experience like a fairy tale world in the passage to the castle, healing and happy. The project is limited in stimulation and suitable for children.

Однозначно маст хэв в Токио! В ясную погоду видно гору Фудзи. Рекомендую брать закатное время, так можно увидеть город при дневном и ночном освещении.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter

A must for Harry Potter fans! It could be a little tiring as the studio is hugee so best to allot your 1 day for it. It took us 4-5hrs to complete the tour. Out tour was packed, so I suggest searching for the best time and day. But nonethless, it&#39;s as if you&#39;re really in the magical world. 🥹

Went to the Tokyo Skytree during the Jujutsu Kaisen event collaboration and it was an experience for fans of the anime. Went there at night and it was even better, with the night sky view of almost 360deg surrounding the tower. There was also an aquarium housed in the tower and although it was considered on the smaller side, it was well worth the visit.
